Anybody with terrible congestion??

39 weeks and a few days ago my nose started running pretty steadily. I assumed it was related to hormones since...ahem...other bodily fluids are also thinning out and running but now I'm not so sure.

Today my throat got sore and the congestion is causing a sinus headache. I suppose it could still all be hormonal and the throat/headache could just be a result of being stopped up. Anyone else have this? No fever, btw.

I was extremely congested during most of my pregnancy. Even had some awful sinus headaches too. Baby girl was born a week ago and I’m just now breathing for the first time since then. Hang tough, mama.
